Cooking paneer tikka in an IFB 30BRC2 microwave using the barbecue feature is a great idea! Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve delicious paneer tikka:
Ingredients:
- 250g paneer (cubed)
- 1 cup thick yogurt (hung curd)
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon besan (gram flour)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 medium-sized onion (sliced into rings)
- 1 medium-sized bell pepper (sliced into rings)
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions:
Start by preparing the marinade. In a large mixing bowl, add the thick yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, besan, lemon juice, red chili powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and oil. Mix everything well to form a smooth paste.
Add the paneer cubes to the marinade and gently coat them with the mixture. Make sure all the paneer cubes are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours. For the best results, you can marinate it overnight.
While the paneer is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water. This step will prevent them from burning during the cooking process.
After the marination time is complete, preheat your IFB 30BRC2 microwave using the barbecue function. Follow the microwave's instructions for preheating or set it to the appropriate barbecue mode.
Once the microwave is preheated, thread the marinated paneer cubes, onion rings, and bell pepper rings alternately onto the soaked skewers.
Place the skewers on the microwave-safe barbecue grill or tray and cook them using the barbecue function. You can use the microwave's default barbecue setting or manually set the temperature and time as required.
Keep an eye on the paneer tikka while it's cooking and turn the skewers occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent charring.
Once the paneer tikka is cooked and has a nice golden-brown color, remove the skewers from the microwave and let them cool for a minute.
Serve the hot and delicious paneer tikka with mint chutney, lemon wedges, and sliced onions.
Enjoy your homemade paneer tikka cooked in the IFB 30BRC2 microwave using the barbecue feature! It's a perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion.
